About Me

My Name is Pat Rock, and I live in Colorado. I am married and have a 2 year old son who does some pretty cool stuff(maybe that's just the father in me speaking). I teach 6th grade science and social studies and 8th grade social studies. I am also a coach at the high school and at the middle school. I am a life long Yankee fan (I grew up in NY) but have became a Rockies fan when I moved out here. I played college football and baseball back in NY and moved out here right after graduation.

Library Thing

LibraryThing.com is a website that book lovers will love. It is a place for people to "shelve" their favorite books and even have discussions with others that love the book as well. I could see this being a tool for book clubs or even in high schools where students are reading classic novels to get the perspective of students from all over the world. For example, I would probably have a different perspective of "The Great Gatsby" being that I grew up on long Island and went to school on the Gold Coast, than someone from Kansas. Much as they would have a different point of view of "The Grapes of Wrath". My user name at LibraryThing is Prock19, check out my book list!
